Cowboy Football Squad Adds Three For Spring Semester
January 22, 2007 | Cowboy Football
All three student-athletes are currently attending classes at OSU and will participate in spring drills.
Alexander is the youngest of the group. He graduated from high school in December and with that accomplishment became eligible to enroll at Oklahoma State a semester early. The linebacker from McKinney North High School in Texas is 6-foot-1, 210 pounds. He was rated by Scout.com (No. 62) and by the Dallas Morning News (No. 92) as one of the top 100 players in the state of Texas. Alexander was also ranked by Scout.com as the nation's No. 30 linebacker prospect. Rivals ranked him No. 92 in Texas and the nation's 48th best outside linebacker prospect.
He earned 4A honorable mention all-state honors by the Associated Press and was a two-time all-district selection. He finished his senior season with 78 tackles, four quarterback sacks and four interceptions.
Fontenot, 5-foot-9, 180 pounds, originally signed with Oklahoma State in February of 2006, but did not begin classes until January of 2007. He is also a Texas prepster and a product of Grand Prairie South High School. Following a senior season that included 97 tackles, 43 tackles behind the line of scrimmage and two recovered fumbles, Fontenot was selected as a second-team member of the Texas Football All-Super Team. He also was a member of the Dallas Morning News top 100 in Texas (No. 97), and one of Americs's top 50 safety prospects, according to Rivals. He was also a first-team all-district selection.
Tea was named a first-team National Junior College Athletic Association All-American and Rivals ranked him as one of the top 30 two-year players in the country, regardless of position. Scout's JCFootball.com considered Tea the nation's best junior college defensive tackle and a top-10 overall prospect.
The 6-0, 310-pound native of Anchorage, Alaska, played just one season of high school football at East Anchorage High School, but still earned all-state honors. He redshirted his first year at Snow.
As a sophomore, Tea was credited with 24 tackles, including nine tackles behind the line of scrimmage, 3.5 quarterback sacks and a forced fumble. He was twice named the Badgers' defensive player of the week despite facing constant double teams.
